"Spear Chucker"- a term only known by hardcore idiots or the millions who watched the last season of The Walking Dead. Anyway, if anyone thinks a black person in a "sword and sorcery" setting shouldn't have a spear because it's not "PC"-- I'm sorry to inform you, but you are a reverse-racist. I wonder if they ever thought Indiana Jones or Simon Belmont wasn't PC?

Lol, didn't want to create some kind of argument here. Just found it funny the first weapon thought of for her was a spear. :P FWIW, it does look good with her.

Blame me. I guess I'm the racist lol.

I thought of her as a huntress and I've said so here (a while back) and said so on RGD, suggesting she should have a crossbow or a spear because she's a huntress.

It's funny, it never once crossed my mind that suggesting a spear was somehow racist. It had ZERO to do with her being dark-skinned and 100% to do with her being a trapper who hunts.

Her prime ability is one of the more realistic powers expressed in the series. No magical aid or mythical source allowed her to throw nets strapped to her back - that was all her own work, putting her on a par, skill-wise, with Bow. She captured a moving Catra after being thrown by She-Ra, and a threatening Horde Trooper - her precision is shown by the fact that she threw this particular net through the bars on her cell-door!

Wow! The most amazing thing ever just happened! Netossa just arrived here in Germany today! Only two days afther I got my shipping confirmation from Mattel!
The reason for the incredibale fast shipping seems to be DHL, which I chose as shipping option when I ordered. I didn't have to bother with the customs office but had to pay the customs duty directly to DHL (I had to give it cash to the postman), which is probably part of the reason why this went so fast.
Choosing DHL definitely was the right decision, gone are the days of four-five weeks of waiting for figures, gone are the days where I had to spend hours waiting at the customs office. And you actually get a tracking number for international shipping as well!
This is just awesome and I'm really, really, happy right now!

(still waiting for Granamyr, though, who was sent with international post and not with DHL)

Ive used UPS the last couple of years and always had to pay tax. Today.. no tax!! DHL guy said I *might* have got away with it as he should have had paperwork, but none was given. But I might get a bill in the post so I have to wait and see. But yes this does seem faster than UPS was, which is a big surprise. I was expecting them to take longer.

Mine just arrived minutes ago! I'm totally glad I switched from Cornerstone Logistics to UPS shipping. The right knee joint is a bit loose, but other than that I'm very impressed. No major plaint flubs and the black circle on the cape is hardly noticeable. The cape seems far more durable than Leech's net.

Same thing here re: Netossa! (and hopefully the rest of the year too)! I'm stunned at how quick Netossa got to Melbourne (minus the customs fees). Here's hoping she gets delivered today or tomorrow!

Shame you're still waiting on Granamyr, i used fast shipping for this guy and he got here quick too.

This. This makes me happy. I have faith that people who don't have much of an affinity for, or any nostalgia for, the old pop line or cartoon, will see that these characters are pretty awesome, and we have the 4H to thank for making people see the fun to be had in them!!

My mate who ordered our subs in Australia just received shipment of Netossa. That is crazy fast (and first time a figure has been here, for me, before it was released on site). Super happy with the DHL shipping being offered this year for international customers.

I want to paint an extra Goddess spear I have white with some blue detail for Netossa. Do you guys think that would work?

I think so. At least I hope so because I am planning on doing the same thing but with white, blue, & silver. The color distribution and where to put the details has been tricky to decide. Still have plenty of time to think though.
